I didn't care if he did the Boomer thing once or twice, but he just kept at it. I swear the guy did it like 10 times.
Then he said something like sooner or later we will get you.
I'm sorry, but he was just embarrassing.

Agreed, but that had to be the worst ten or fifteen seconds of Colt McCoy's life... Heh.Originally Posted by Soonermagik

I agree. I started cringing when he was yelling. It's embarrassing enough that he hawked his trophy.
Don't confuse him with Chrissy - just one "m" in Sims.
He's had it rough. Maybe yelling "Boomer" like he was still the Heisman winner about to be the number one overall draft pick to the Lions brings back good memories for him.
I can appreciate Billy's enthusiasm, but there's a time to yell "Boomer" and there's a time to stop. I was happy for Sam, but having Sims go off on a "Boomer" tirade was just sad.

Didn't he do the same thing when Jason White won only Jason replied.

Here's an awful thought: Nobody ever voting for a Sooner again so that Billy won't have another opportunity for that.
Maybe one good BOOMER! ...but it really was a bit much.
...but who am I to say, Billy Sims is a Sooner legend!

First of all, it's Billy Sims. Not Simms. And he can do whatever he wants.
If you don't care enough about a Sooner legend to spell his name correctly, you definitely don't have a right to be embarrassed by him.
We have come to expect the BOOMER yelling by Billy at the Heisman awards. Doesn't bother or embarrass me at all. I wish the camera was on mack Brown the whole time Billy was yelling.
Put a lid on it! Kiss it goodbye. We gave it away, and apparently thought it made sense to do so.
I agree. Incredibly embarrasing. I posted the same last year and got several neg's. That's ok.

I wonder who was first on his ballot??

As much as I love everything that Billy's done for Oklahoma and the university, even knowing that Billy likes to spin towels over his head while saying "Boomer" repeatedly at Heisman-related events (at least that's what he was doing at Steve Owens' statue unveiling) and expecting the inevitable, I was holding out hope that someone pulled him aside beforehand to say "You know, we love your enthusiasm, but just let Sam know that you're planning to do that and maybe you guys plan to do a 'Boomer Sooner' chant after his acceptance speech."
Sam seemed blindsided by this. He's trying to be a humble team-first guy, but while he's being a good sportsman in shaking Tebow's and McCoy's hands and hugging his parents, there's "Boomer! Boomer!" in the background. This was like the Tech fan yelling "Go Raiders!" during television interviews of Sooner players after our "loss." Sad.
We love you Billy. We just want you to give these guys their moment, too.
X2.
After all the ruckus he caused amongst some of us, I re-watched it -- still not embarrassing. Bradford gave him two 'Sooners!' back; I missed that the first time around.
That stuffy auditorium & presentation ceremony needed some antics anyway.
Agree. That's just Billy. Anyone know who followed up Billy's Boomer with Sooner? I thought it was Sammy at 1st.
Jesus Christ, why don't you guys find something to bitch about.
Do it for the Polar bears.
I bet Brian Bozworth would've yelled 'BOOMER'.
And Josh Huyple. And Mike Gattis.
